Rehab Program Puts Addict On The Path To Survival


The life of an addict is riddled with the remains of their hopes, dreams and desires. Substance abuse will tear what once used to be a lifelong goal into shreds – all in an attempt to achieve the next high. And while this devastating turn of events shocks and amazes most people, it is the everyday life of someone addicted to drugs and alcohol. But on this dark and lonesome path, there is a ray of hope, a glimmer of what the person could and should be, and one rehab has made it their mission to provide a new life for those struggling against their addictions.

Narconon Louisiana is a long-term, inpatient drug and
alcohol rehab that has been helping people achieve permanent sobriety for over four years. Using a method of rehabilitation that has proven successful for hundreds of people, Narconon Louisiana stably achieves a 76% success rate for permanent recovery from addiction.

Among many of the unique components of this program, is The Way To Happiness course. This is one of the last steps that a client enrolled in this program does before entering back into society and it focuses on creating a stable set of morals for the individual. It has been found that one of the reasons for the seemingly revolving door in rehabs is because former addicted do not know how to co-exist in society. They have to spend a good part of their life actively working against everything that sober, productive people work so hard to attain. They steal, lie and cheat and more often than not, harm the people around them in some way.

Narconon Louisiana has found that in order to achieve permanent sobriety, an addict has to adopt a new set of morals, a new outlook on life, and The Way To Happiness is that guide. This book covers such basics as, “Take Care of Yourself”, “Don’t Do Anything Illegal” and “Respect the Religious Beliefs of Others”. While this may sound simple to most, it is an entirely different way of thinking for an addict. For the first time in a long time they are not consumed with thoughts that can be destructive such as how they will get their next high, or where they are going to get more money. They are filled with thoughts on things that are survival such as, where they are going to work, how they are going to reconnect with their families and loved ones, and most of all they are filled with hope.

The Way To Happiness ensures that clients leave the facility armed with the knowledge needed to succeed, the knowledge needed to live a life free from drugs and alcohol. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a substance abuse problem please call
